4 cores working with the screen on... battery life....

stuck at logo after kernel flash
I am on the liquid milestone 3.2. I saw that this is the same kernel but updated version that came in the rom so i wanted to update. No matter
Now i am stuck in a boot loop. phone powers on, stays at the LG logo, goes no further. I can get to Download mode, but no recovery.
Is there a way to recover this thing with out having put a locked stock rom on it??

DT2W double tap to wake
I love the Kernal so far however i've got a question about the double tap to wake features. Is there a way to have the screen turn off by double tapping somewhere OTHER than the notification bar at the top of the screen? Also it takes me about 4 or 5 double taps to get the screen to actually wake up, any ideas on any of this ? Thanks!

Hear myself in the phone... rom or kernal problem?
hello love the work you guys do its exciting and interesting. Ive relatively recently started playing with custom roms and kernals etc. love this one because i get excellent battery life as well as a solid LTE signal (two things ive had trouble finding with lollipop so far.. might just be me). Anyway ive got an issue with hearing myself in my phone when im on the phone... its like everything i say approx half a second after i say it.. needless to say its rather annoying, is this a rom or kernal problem? volume settings issue? not sure.. Also my proximity sensor occasionally wont register that my ear is near it.. baaically the screen stays on if im say checking my voice mail or on the phone.. not sure why this happends.. Everything else works great.. some info: d801 lg g2, lastest rr build for lp and i have the lasest blackbird for lollipop. its a really solid combo and im loving it.. thanks for any information you may have

These are ROM related errors...the call echo especially... Depending on ROM I could help....also see if it still persists in my latest update

Love this kernal, and I flash when installing a new LP build, but I've been having problems lately. After initial setup or reboot I get the" NO UCI SUPPORT " message. I'm running LiquidSmooth's latest build for the LS980, is anyone else having this issue.

Run om g3 based roms?

No. This kernel is for AOSP-based ROMs. G3 ROMs are stock-based.

just flashed your kernel, got stuck in a boot loop.
VS980, liquidsmooth 3.2 milestone.
what can i do? was excited to try out your update

Great kernel, running super smooth on AICP.
Thanks!

He's working on the fix for cm 12.1.
I sent my files on hangouts, just wait

edit: figured it out

does anyone have a dt2w fix for vs980? i just flashed liquidsmooth 4.0 and everything was working fine, flashed the kernel and it broke my knock on support. i found the zip posted in the main kernel thread (this one) and twrp tells me the file is corrupted

I'm using F320K with BlissPop v2.3 rom, when flash this kernel for lp 5.0.2, it cause loopboot. Pls up kernel fix for lolipop 5.1. Hope to see it soon. Thanks u

I'm assuming that those are 5.0 based, since they're from January, right?

I think they're KitKat based. I tried already and it caused my d800 to go in a boot loop.
I wonder if anyone has got, perhaps, the 5.1 d800 version? I'm getting kinda desperate since my fav rom switched to a kernel that makes my phone really really hot.

Really need a link to latest 5.1 B14ckB1rd kernel for D800 :/
Pls...

What is the best Nougat rom?

What is the best rom that is similar to nougat?
My phone is rooted and the bootloader is unlocked.
Should I use Lineage or CM14.1?

I would use linage.

Resurrection Remix 7.1.12r25 is my favorite. It has the most options built in of all the Nougat roms for the G900V and other phones.

Has anyone reading this had trouble with Nougat ROMS causing a lockup after the initial setup? I can install and use Resurrection Remix, Lineage and CR Droid at my home. Once I start moving (i.e. when I go to a store or go to work) the phone will lock up showing a rectangular box on the lock screen. Yesterday when I arrived at work I touched the power button and I expected to unlock the phone. I saw the normal unlock screen for a split second and then saw the dreaded rectangular box with the time as the only graphic. To restart one has to pull the battery. Yesterday I did a nandroid restore and was back on Marshmallow.
I am wondering if this might be due to my phone being shut down by Verizon once I attain a strong consistent cell signal. Or maybe the network settings for using the Verizon network are wrong.
I also think it could be due to GAPPS but only because I have seen other posts concerning some GAPPS causing lockups. What I haven't read is anyone getting the phone all set up and running smoothly at home only to have it go wonky once it moves away from the original cell.
(I really like the Nougat custom ROMS more than the stock rooted Marshmallow ROM but I can't use them without the lockups!)
Thanks for reading this. (SM-G900V with unlocked bootloader)

Please after installing the nougat custom rom does the remote and 4G work?

Yes, 4g works for me on "Global". I use the Peel remote and control every TV/Stereo/Sound bar in my house with it.

I'm having the very same problem. I've looking elsewhere but without success.
I don't want to go back to MM yet, but this is really annoying. Any insights on this?

Wow. Now I feel ashamed. But being honest I looked deeply but seems that I didn't search with the correct words. Thank you.
So, LOS is still the best Nougat ROM?

I would like to know this as well. I liked Resurrection Remix but switched to Lineage because battery life was so poor for me on Resurrection Remix.

Moving to LineageOS worth it (and possible) from Cloudy G2.2?

I've been running Cloudy G2.2 for a year an a half. It's given the phone enough legs to mostly make it through 2017. However, about every other week I have to restore my latest backup when Bluetooth stops working because it saw too many devices. This wouldn't be terrible if it wasn't for Authy refusing to sync my newer 2-Factor auth accounts. I think I've convinced myself that the G6 (US997) is my next phone, but now is a silly time to buy as the price should drop like a rock as the next wave of flagships come out.
I'm hoping to make it another couple months and was wondering anyone's experiences moving from Cloudy G2.2 (or other ROMs) to the latest lineage? From what I've read, it's very stable. However, I'm on Kit Kat bootloader, so it doesn't seem like this will be a straightforward process. I was hoping to get some experiences from people who made the same move before starting.
I currently have:
LG G2 D800
Root using stumproot (I think, it's been a while) with supersu installed
TWRP 2.7.0.0 installed by autorec
Cloudy G2.2 KOT49I

So, after some research, I set off to install LineageOS. In hindsight, this might have been a bad idea since it specifically only mentions the D802 in the title. However, it listed links for D800 builds, though they were crossed out.
I updated TWRP to this version by Blastagator and that was painless. I then wiped the phone, made a fresh backup and flashed the latest nightly of LineageOS, and the latest GApps (Mini) for 7.1. That was disappointing since I got the quick "LG logo" followed by a blank screen, that I later found was mentioned in the same Lineage post. Should've read farther.
I think the issue is that I'm on the wrong bootloader. I thought I was on KitKat which the post requires, but in order to enter recovery, I have to press enter three times (rather than using volume buttons to navigate), which indicates I'm on JellyBean bootloader.
So, this is the scary step that I was hoping to avoid. My big fear is that I run Linux on my desktop, so I can't use the LG Flash Tool. As long as I can keep a working recovery, I have backups, so I'm fairly safe. Following the Blastagator bootloader post, I'm not really sure how you go back and forth between bootloaders so easily as it suggests. Is that really as simple as loading the zip file on the phone and installing it in TWRP?
Is there a safer way to handle this?

From my experience, it is that easy. Simply install the zip file and you have loaded a new boot loader. Also, I was in the same boat as you with Cloudy rom and moved to Nougat with crDroid. However it's not stable and I am considering looking for something else more stable but fast like crDroid.

When you updated your bootloader, were you still able to run the Cloudy ROM before you switched to crDroid? Once I flash the KitKat bootloader, am I only able to use the Nougat ROMs? My big concern is that there might be something a bit off with my bootloader, so I won't be able to get back to TWRP.
I think there's something a bit off with my bootloader as is, because about a year ago I flashed back to stock Jellybean, and took all the OTA updates. However, when the phone tried to take the KitKat update, it softbricked, and could only be recovered using the LG Update Tool, which I don't have access to anymore. Because of this, I'm a little worried that just dropping on the Blastagator KitKat bootloader may have some atypical issues.

i m using it for a while. u know, on Los you won't be able to use lg features such as qslide, qmemo, plug&pop, knockcode etc. Only worth it if you want your phone to look a little bit fresher and lighter or you need a newer android version for some reason. Else, don't take the risk if you can't use flashtool. You can consider installing another kitkat rom. There are lots and they are nice :]

My primary issue is that KitKat (or whatever Cloudy G2.2 is?) has the old Android bluetooth bug where once it sees too many devices, it stops connecting to anything. I have to make sure to turn off my phone if I go somewhere like an airport, and have been having to restore my clean Cloudy backup about once a month. It's getting pretty frustrating. On the other hand, I'm hoping to upgrade to an LG G6 (US997) in a month or two when the V30 release pushes down on prices. So, if it's a case of potentially hard-bricking my G2 at the worst possible time, I should hold off flashing.

That makes sense, but will I not be able to use my Cloudy 2.2 backup after that? It says that the hybrid bootstack will only boot CM 12.1, CM13, and LP stock roms.

These questions if this works with that or that are easier to answer for yourself by reading what goes with what.
Just Google LG G2 bootstack and you can probably find the ones you need for any available rom.
I use hybrid on Marshmallow 6.0.1 but I tried Nougat 7.1.2 too, it works.

Screen auto-rotation

I know this is a mostly dead platform, but figured it was worth a shot to ask. My Trek 2 stopped auto-rotating the screen awhile back while it was stock. I had not updated in awhile, so I tossed in an AT&T sim to get it up to date. I did not notice it at first (I use the tablet intermittently) but I am almost certain that update coincided with the screen no longer rotating.
After several months and being tired of manually rotating the screen I took the time to put AOKP on it. Part of my desire was hoping to resolve the screen rotation. It did not. But, I did see a comment in one of the ROM threads where it looked liked someone had the identical issue and it might be related to the software or a minor difference in hardware. Does anyone have any ideas?

Some K88 tablets' auto-rotating only works with MM, not Nougat. Check your current firmware. It will be 7.0.1 or something above 7.0.0, not 6.X.X
The only solution is by flashing K88 back to MM. Sometimes, directly flashing B33 still may not work. So I recommend to flash B31, and then upgrade to B33, but not again to Nougat. Once update to Nougat, then the auto-rotating will not work again. I tried all custom firmware(nougat + oreo), but my K88 auto-rotating is not working with them.
To flash back to B31, you need to install TWRP using jasminetool. And then directly flash B31 stock firmware.

Thanks for chiming in! Any idea what the limitation is? I have LineageOS installed right now, it runs great other than the rotation issue. It looks like all of the custom ROMs are Nougat based, is my only option to go back to stock to get auto-rotation back?

ROM with second-screen compability?

Hi! Im getting a V20 H915 (amazon just need to have it arrive to my door, any days now) and i was planning on rooting it to both debloat it and load a ligther OS.
But knowing that many of those ROM dosen't include the second-screen, is there any recommended ROM that I could use that include second-screen function.
(Hopefully a LineageOS build or even /e/ [if i can download apk of online games that I ussualy played on my current mobile])

All ROMs based on lineage 16.0 and above have second screen to my knowledge. If you need help rooting feel free to PM me.

Any ROM that is not stock-based will not have second screen functionality. In our ROMS, 2nd screen is used as the status bar that display time, connections, battery, etc. Unless LG provides the code to us (which they never will), any custom ROM that is not stock-based will not have a functional second screen that acts the way it does on stock. If you want it, download a stock-based ROM.

As far as I know, the AO (Alpha Omega) ROM is the only OREO Rom that has the LG 2nd screen.
